Which K&N oil filter are you guys using that doesn't seat properly?  I
just put one on The Boss's viffer, I think it was a #303 IIRC but will
have to check.  I thought I'd read somewhere that viffer and ST oil
filters are the same so was thinking about trying a K&N...if there is a
number that doesn't fit help me avoid a mess!
